Celebrating Fifty Years of Design, Craftsmanship & Outdoor Living

Lifescape Colorado Marks a Half-Century of Design Excellence

Lifescape Colorado Marks a Half-Century of Design Excellence Founded in 1976 by Charles “Randy” Randolph, Lifescape Colorado began with a simple vision: to create outdoor spaces as thoughtfully designed and deeply lived in as the homes they surround. Under the leadership of Michael Hupf since 2006, that vision has grown into a fully integrated landscape architecture, construction, and property care firm known for craftsmanship, innovation, and enduring client relationships. As we celebrate fifty years, we reflect not only on where we began, but on the people and partnerships that have shaped our work and allowed it to endure.

“While Lifescape has evolved in many ways since 1976, our 50th anniversary reflects two things that have remained constant from the beginning: great clients and great people. The trust our clients place in us and the dedication of our team are what have shaped our growth and sustained our work over the decades.”
-Michael Hupf

“As designers, our role is only one chapter in a much longer story. Our clients are the ones who live in these outdoor spaces long after the work is done. That’s why listening is essential. By understanding how they want to use their landscape, we’re able to shape designs that truly support the way they live and that continue to feel meaningful over time.”
-Troy Shimp

“Our greatest strength has always been the team behind the work. It’s the people who bring insight, discipline, and creativity to every project, and who care deeply about doing things the right way. As we look ahead, that same commitment is driving bold new work, a growing national presence, and a responsibility to build for future generations. The future of Lifescape is every bit as ambitious as its past, grounded in the people who make it possible.”
-LeAnn Ostheimer
